The iPhone X 64GB is available at Rs. 74,999 (MRP Rs. 95,390) on Amazon Great Indian Festival sale.

Amazon is also offering a free one-time screen replacement worth Rs. 30,000, according to Amazon, on all smartphones sold during the Great Indian Festival sale. The iPhone X features a 5.8-inch display and is powered by Apple's A11 Bionic chip. If you're not too keen on spending a lot of money on this year's slightly expensive iPhone models, the iPhone X is still a decent buy at this price if you consider the free screen replacement, exchange offer, and bundled payment options.
